Police are investigating after seven people, including a teenager, were shot in North Philadelphia on Wednesday evening.
Police say a vehicle with possibly three people inside was seen pulling up on Somerset Street. At least one of the male suspects gets out and that's when 17 shots are fired down the block from the intersection.
Police say a 16-year-old girl who suffered a graze wound to the abdomen was taken to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children. "We believe there's many, many people that were out and that's why there are so many shooting victims," said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small. "We believe they shot into this crowd intentionally and someone in the crowd may have been the intended target."
